Questions

Questions retrieve information from a device like text, attribute values or status information.

Every question can be used by:

• the See interaction to directly compare the retrieved value with an expectation, or
• directly call the question and store the retrieved data

For example the Text question retrieves the the textual content of an element.

Use it with the See interaction

anActor.attemptsTo(
    See.if(Text.of(element))
        .is(Expected.to.equal(`an expectation`))
)

directly call the Text question and store the text for later use

const text = await Text.of(element).answeredBy(anActor);

Assertions

The counter part of a question is an assertion. Whereas the question retrieves a value the assertion compares it to an expected value:

actor.attemptsTo(
    See.if(Question)
        .is(Expected.to.equal(Value))
)
